Here's the robocall I got today in Ohio.

(from memory but this was the gist)

It was supposedly some nurse from Chicago who was shocked to learn that babies who were born alive after a failed abortion were just left to die, and they created Born Alive legislation to save those babies and Senator Obama voted against it multiple times, and he's the most pro-abortion prez we've ever had and yadda, yadda, yadda, bullshit.

the new bill had some text it in that Obama didn't approve of. Or something like that.

This is an old story that the republicans keep trying to spin out of context.

8. Rush repeats this lie fairly frequently, or let's 'callers' repeat it.

( I think most of the 'callers' are paid and scripted.) Makes me want to pull somebody through my car radio and slap them.
